Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Soak the red beans for three hours in advance. Put it in an earthen pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for 15 minutes, turn off the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn the heat back on and cook for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and simmer for another 15 minutes. Cook until the red beans burst and become soft. When it's almost done, add the sugar, melt and turn off the heat.

   

2. 2 Take a large stainless steel plate, put the filter on it, take out the red beans, pour them into the filter, squeeze the red beans with a spoon until only the red bean skin remains on the filter. During this period, you can drizzle the red bean water on the red beans to help the bean paste leak into the plate.

   

3. 3 Let it rest for half an hour, and the bean paste will settle on the bottom of the plate

   

4. 4 Pour off most of the excess water in the plate, then pour the bean paste into the strainer and filter the water, stirring during the process to help filter the water. I packed the bean paste here before I remembered to take a photo, so it is an empty strainer.

   

5. 5 Fry the pork in advance and set aside

   

6. 6 Pour the bean paste into a non-stick pan, stir-fry over medium heat, and further stir-fry to dry out the water

   

7. 7 Add lard and continue to stir-fry. You can taste it at this time. If it is not sweet enough, you can add a little sugar at this time. Adjust to taste.
